Hello Gentlemen!

With more men taking part in wedding planning, there is also a cross-over of men partaking in baby showers. Coed showers man-friendly foods and beer-filled baby bottles are bringing the guys in droves. Guys are even participating in the games! TheBump.com sys men can play games like Dirty Diaper Hoops, where they can compete to see who can toss the most rolled up diapers through a hoop.

We’re Going to the Woods

While little, yellow baby ducks will always be a classic for a baby shower, now-a-days, the animal of choice are woodland creatures. These cute little creatures have included owls, moose, deer, and squirrels. Great for nature loving Mama’s who want to share it with their little bundle of joy! This trend is even being carried over into baby nurseries.

Hip Mom’s are falling in love with everything mini! Even more so with brunch buffets with mini-foods that can offer up modern menus for their guests. Hosts are looking for just about anything on a stick that offers less mess and have the goods to impress.

Gender reveal baby showers where Mom and Dad fill everyone in on their baby’s sex is at an all-time high. Some parents are asking the doctor to write down the baby’s sex on a note card in a sealed envelope. They then hand that envelope to the baker, who then makes a cake that’s gender neutral on the outside and either pink or blue on the inside. Guests of the baby shower then make predictions before the big reveal and when Mom and Day cut the cake, everyone finds out what their expecting.

With the Easter Holiday right around the corner, we thought it would be fun to share creative dessert ideas with all of you! These fun ideas can be used for the Holiday or for a nice Spring get together. Whatever way you choose to create these lovely treats, just have oodles of fun!
